Abstract
An apparatus comprising a transferring element for transferring a dose of flowable material, said dose being provided with an elongated body having a transverse dimension and an end zone, a receiving member for receiving said dose from said transferring element, wherein said transferring element comprising an end-forming arrangement for forming said end zone in such a way as to decrease said transverse dimension in the vicinity of said end zone. A dose of plastics comprises an elongated body provided with a transverse dimension, said elongated body comprising an end zone provided with a respective transverse dimension that is less than said transverse dimension.
Claims28
Apparatus comprising:
- a dose transferring element for transferring a dose of flowable material,
- a further dose transferring element for removing said dose from an extruder outlet and transferring said dose to said dose transferring element, and
- a receiving member for receiving said dose from said dose transferring element;
- said dose transferring element being movable along a looped path for transferring said dose;
- said receiving member being provided in a moulding arrangement for compression moulding a dose of plastics;
- said dose being provided with an elongated body having a transverse dimension and an end zone;
- said dose transferring element comprising an end-forming arrangement for forming said end zone in such a way as to decrease said transverse dimension in the vicinity of said end zone.
Apparatus comprising:
- an extruder for extruding a dose of plastics;
- a dose transferring element having an internal cavity for housing said dose, said dose transferring element being movable along a looped path for transferring said dose;
- and
- a receiving member for receiving said dose from said dose transferring element;
- said dose transferring element comprising a first closing member cooperating with a second closing member to close and/or open an opening obtained in said dose transferring element and traversable by said dose, said first closing member and said second closing member being driven by a common driving device.
